I'm using Sonar 6 Producer. I've got a project with 2 midi tracks and their accompanying audio tracks/soft synths. One MIDI track is for Session Drummer and the other is for Absynth. I've thought everything configured properly-- I can hear the audio on playback for both MIDI tracks just fine...

Hi all, I'm selling a bunch of my gear. This stuff is just sitting around not being used and I want money for other endeavors. Just PM me if you want more pictures or have any questions. Feel free to check my Ebay account (user id: scottgman) for my feedback. I've got pictures of most of this...

I realize this is OT, but I'm not sure if Ethan peruses the other forums. Anyway, I was reading the Clicked blog on MSNBC (scroll down about a page) like I usually do and I see a link for "One song, 37 parts, one cellist." Sounds pretty cool. So I click the link and there's our favorite...

Or is it counter melody? Are they the same thing? I'm a little confused. Check out 'Sample Chorus' at the following link for an example of what I think it is: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4454&alid=-1 In that sample is one vocal line a "counterpoint" to the other...

I've got 8 inputs to work with and here's how I've been approaching mic'ing up drums: 2 OHs 1 Snare 1 Kick drum 1 Kick drum beater 1 Shared Small/Mid tom (mic'd in between) 1 Low tom 1 Room Mic I usually put a SM57 on the beater. The problem is that it sounds like poo and I feel like I'm...

Likewise, how many songs are on an EP? Are there any standards? Are those labels basically meaningless nowadays?

I got an unexpected bonus today from my work (woo hoo!). I've been itching to buy a ribbon mic and now I can pull the trigger. I think I'm going to go with a Beyerdynamic M160. Who has the best price on these mics? Oddly enough, the best price I've found so far is from...

Ok, so I got an MP3 player a couple months ago. I'm using the stock earbuds that came with the player-- so they are nothing special. Anyway, I've noticed that when I listen to my mixes on the MP3 player, there is lots of distortion-- mainly on the drum hits (e.g., snare). I'm real anal about...

Hi all, I'm using Sonar 4 and I'm a confused about using panning and the busses. I've got all the tracks in separate track folders and I recently started using a seperate dedicated buss for guitar, bass, vocals, and drums. So all drum tracks are in the Drum folder and they all go through the...

Hey all. I recently got a MOTU MKII. I'm having latency problems. I'm using Sonar 4. Right now, the latency is around 23ms and that is as far left as the slider can go. I tried going into the MOTU control panel and changing the buffer size. This got the latency down to 5ms but there were too...

I recently finished tracking/mixing this song. I could really use some feedback on the mix. I think I'm going to re-track the lead guitar stuff. Any feedback would be great-- good, bad, or ugly. Cheers! 'Deprived' http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4454&alid=-1

I've got a Takamine acoustic with built-in preamp and piezo pickup. I recently had to replace the preamp because I was getting distortion and because the volume fader quit working. Well, after installing the new preamp, everything works great except I'm still getting distortion sometimes if I...

I've read John Sayers site. I've read Nathan Winter's site. I've read many posts on this forum and other forums. It's a lot of info and I'm not sure I understand (or care about) it all. But I want to make some absorption panels and bass traps and I want to make sure I'm getting the right...

I've seen you recommend the Seymour Duncan Alnico II and Pearly Gates as an awesome combination for rock guitar several times. I decided to give em a try and installed them in one of my Ibanez Artists. After a couple months of evaluating them during band practice and at home... I LOVE THEM...

I'm wondering how many people bring their own amp mics to gigs? Most of the places I play that have house PAs usually use SM57s for guitar amps. I have a Sennheiser MD421 that I like ALOT better on my amp compared to a 57. For those of you with FOH mixing experience, does bringing your own...

Hey does anyone know where to get a good deal on Takamine preamps? The preamp (N4B) in my G-series (EG-330C) finally bit the dust. I've had it for about 7 years so I guess I got my moneys worth. Anyway, I cannot really find any store that sells them. I found one on Ebay, but it's not the one...

OK, I'm having a problem with vocal dynamics. The singer in my band has a really strong voice. The problem is that when she gets to a part where she goes from kind of quiet to belting, I either have to a) ride the fader on the preamp, or 2) have her back off the mic. The problem is that when I...

http://www.jesusonic.com/ It's being developed by the guy who started Nullsoft (WinAmp, Gnutella, etc.). Apparently he's had some time on his hands since he left his full-time job of pissing off AOL executives. Looks like it could be pretty cool. But it would have to be easy to use. I...

I finished tracking this song last weekend. This is the first mix. I am going to be re-tracking the bass guitar and am thinking about re-tracking some/all of the lead guitar. I'm really at a point where I need some feedback on the song. I've listened to it way too much in the last couple weeks...

I ordered some Bill Lawrence humbuckers. I've heard people rave about these PuPs (both on this board and elsewhere) so I ordered some to replace the EMGs I can't stand anymore. Anyway, I'm no electronics geek but over my 16 years of playing guitar, I've replaced the PuPs in every guitar I've...
